Originally done by Steve Goins as a ridiculously difficult and bold gear climb this amazing route was unfortunately retroed. Permission was supposedly asked but I still feel its a shame because this would be one of the most amazing trad pitches in the south. Super steep and unrelenting. A most inspiring line.
To think of leading off ground up onsight towards those overhangs is just a level of climbing I can't imagine. Most climbers will dog it out up there on the bolts. Just thinking of placing gear up there is humbling. The position on the final headwall is surely some of the most exposed on any Tennessee cliff.

Located a bit further right from the obvious Rasputin roofs locate the grey rock below an obvious right leaning left facing corner below massive roofs.
